Chapter 1391: Chapter 996: Not Afraid of The Holy Court’s Partner_2

Xi Ligui rolled her eyes at him, "Extend your perception a bit, be careful in case someone comes by."

After speaking, she placed her hand back on his shoulder and kissed him again.

Creak~!

The door suddenly opened, causing Xi Ligui’s body to tremble.

Turning around, she saw it was Shi Yali coming in from outside, who gave Wu Heng a somewhat reproachful slap.

Shi Yali glanced at the two clinging to each other, "Don’t forget there’s a squad meeting later."

She reminded them with her words as she approached.

Sitting on the other side of Wu Heng’s lap, she offered a passionate kiss.

...

The two sisters went to the meeting.

Wu Heng used the teleportation technique to return to the Island Lord’s Mansion.

Mini helped him remove his coat and hung it on the nearby coat rack, "Is this the compensation from the Holy Court?"

Robey and Viola, who were nearby, also turned to look over.

"Yes!" Wu Heng took out a space satchel, "There are 500,000 gold coins here, take it to the treasury later."

The eyes of the three widened.

Robey exclaimed, "500,000, they’ve sent it all over, that filthy Holy Court is really loaded!"

Wu Heng looked at her and said, "Why are you still using such foul language?"

"Oh! My bad." Robey apologized, but there was no sign of remorse on her face.

The witch Viola, who was at the back, looked equally surprised, initially due to the amount of 500,000.

Now, hearing that it’s the Holy Court’s compensation, Viola’s eyes widened again.

Wasn’t the hero of the Holy Court killed! How come they still paid compensation?

What’s going on here?

This is different from the rumors outside.

Mini held the space satchel, "Master, we’ll put the money in the treasury first."

"Hmm, go ahead." Wu Heng nodded.

The maids went to the treasury together, and Viola glanced at Wu Heng before following Mini to the treasury.

Wu Heng poured himself a glass of water, sat on the sofa, and picked up the phone to call Lilith.

After a few rings, the call was connected.

On the other end, Lilith’s lazy yet rich voice came through, "What’s up?"

"Haven’t reached out in a long time, just checking how things are on your side." Wu Heng said with a smile and switched the phone to video call, showing Lilith’s cold and beautiful face on the screen.

"Everything’s going quite well." Lilith’s beautiful eyes glanced at the phone.

"The Holy Court’s compensation arrived." Wu Heng got straight to the point, "Leader Hadara still wants to order more radios from me."

Lilith’s red lips slightly pressed together, "Given the association’s size, they indeed need more radios. Since you have cell phones over there, the surplus radios can be considered for the association."

Radios, seen as exceptionally useful telecommunication tools by the association and other races.

After all, with the current situation, correspondence was the normal way to convey messages. Deploying radios widely would drastically increase efficiency.

Wu Heng hesitated for a moment, then said, "I’ll take a look. If it’s convenient, I can provide a few more sets for the association."

"That works!" Lilith nodded.

This wasn’t her responsibility anyway; at most, she could put in a good word for the association.

Wu Heng leaned back in the chair and continued, "The report for the fugitive’s pardon should have reached the headquarters. Any specific news?"

Lilith replied, "Possibly it’s been delivered. Such matters undergo a very complicated process, so wait for a bit."

Wu Heng squinted his eyes, quickly thinking it over in his mind, then said, "How about this! I agree to provide radios to the headquarters, and you help me speak with Leader Hadara to expedite the process."

"That urgent?" Lilith’s eyes showed doubt.

"She’s carrying a wanted order; it’s a troublesome matter. There are some tasks I want her to carry out." Wu Heng explained.

Lilith nodded, "How many radio sets can you provide?"

"Four sets!" Wu Heng said.

In any case, they were meant for the association, so he might as well solve Viola’s situation at the same time.

In the leader’s eyes, the wanted order wasn’t really a big deal.

"Okay." Lilith was somewhat unhappy about the negotiation, but she agreed nonetheless, "I’ll agree directly. The wanted order will be withdrawn today."

Wu Heng smoothly added, "One more thing, I want your help to find out the Heavenly Fox Clan’s whereabouts, the clan that moved away from Erleha Town in the Celt Kingdom."

This matter, Lilith didn’t question much.

After all, a fox maid lived in the Island Lord’s Mansion, so she said, "Sure, I’ll have someone look into it and let you know if there’s any news."

Before ending the call, Wu Heng lowered his voice, "By the way, haven’t you finished your business yet?"

The Blood Clan beauty on the screen languidly responded, "Almost done."

"Xiao Xiao has been talking about you several times."

"Got it! If there’s nothing else, I’ll check out the Gold and Silver Island." Lilith replied with feigned annoyance.

Her tone was impatient, but her gaze became increasingly gentle.

Wu Heng chatted with her for another couple of sentences before hanging up the phone.

With the wanted order and radios settled, the only thing left was the Heavenly Fox Clan matter.

It’s been thousands of years; it’s hard to say if the clan still exists.

He’ll try his best to help find them; if the association has no record, their existence is unlikely.

Stretching lazily, he walked upstairs.

...

The next day, at the city hall.

In the conference room, sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the long table.

Wu Heng sat in the main seat, surrounded by Annette and a few city hall officials.

On the opposite side, the Snake Badge Consortium’s delegation led by Retili sat upright in formal attire.

After a brief greeting, both sides signed and stamped the procurement agreement.

When the last seal was stamped, an elderly man from the consortium cautiously spoke, "Your Honor, the stock of goods...?"

"The goods are definitely sufficient." Wu Heng looked at them, "When do you plan to take them away?"

"Preferably today." The elder’s eyes showed a hint of urgency.

Wu Heng looked to his side, "Annette, take them to the warehouse to inspect the goods. If there’s no problem, arrange for someone to load them onto a ship."

"Yes!" Annette stood up, her professional smile on, "Gentlemen, please follow me."

Everyone stood up noisily, saluted Wu Heng, and all exited the room.

...

Morning light spilled over the streets of Gold and Silver Island, where several elders strolled, observing the surrounding shops and passing people.

"The construction here is quite nice." The Elf Elder’s eyes were filled with admiration.

"What a shame...," the Dwarf Elder shook his head and sighed, "if not for the conflict with the Holy Court, business here wouldn’t be so quiet."

The Human Race Elder agreed, "Yeah, I heard the port used to be crowded with merchant ships coming to buy goods. Look at how few were there when we arrived, just lonely like that."

After attending the steward’s banquet last night, they specifically wandered around the island.

As the rumors said, Gold and Silver Island’s nightlife was truly vibrant, with bright lights, bard songs echoing in every corner, residents gathering to chat and laugh, much more bustling than during the day.

They also visited the entertainment center, where the various novel facilities widened the Elf Elder’s eyes.

From the conversations with some wealthy merchants, it was known that although the island’s goods were quite valuable, most chambers of commerce didn’t dare defy the Holy Court’s warnings and trade directly with Gold and Silver Island.

At most, they could use recreation as an excuse to buy some things with their space rings and bring them back.

Absolutely no excessive contact openly.

"Is the Holy Court trying to strangle Gold and Silver Island?" The Dwarf Elder lowered his voice.

The Elf Elder picked up the thread, "I don’t think so! Gold and Silver Island can sell goods through other channels entirely; the issue is that the chambers are afraid to take sides, fearing retaliation."

As they were whispering among themselves, a sudden noise was heard.

They followed the sound and turned the corner, arriving at the port area.

The port was crowded with large cargo ships, masts standing like a forest, decks full of sailors.

Workers lined up in a long row, loading boxes of goods onto ships.

The shouts of sailors, the sound of waves crashing, and the rustle of sails intertwined to create a bustling scene.

"Is that... the Snake Badge Consortium’s flag?" The Human Race Elder’s eyes widened.

The Elf Elder squinted, watching the Snake Badge flag flutter in the distance, "Looks like we’ve worried too much."

There are still forces that are not afraid of the Holy Court.

Clearly, the young Island Master of Gold and Silver Island found a partner who doesn’t fear the Holy Court.
